Bug #780
Solar Panels Produce Electricity when orbiting behind a CelestialBody
100%
Description
By entering map mode, in certain zoom levels, panels may either ignore the body or, before loading it (which can occur when orbiting the mun at ~30km), allow sunlight to flow to said panels. (In the latter case, repeatedly reloading the map allowed the batteries to recharge while on the darkside of the mun).

Switching from flight to map scene does produce a charge when it wouldn't feasibly do so.
